"A Pocket for the Burnt and Broken Heart” by Mo 2014
Reading the posts that hold Rod and Mo in our hearts reminds me again of the strength and beauty of this circle.
Mo's pocket hangs next to my worktable. Inside of it are things and thoughts for love and healing. In a long ago post about it, I wrote, "This beautiful "Pocket for the Burnt and Broken Heart" by Mo arrived a bit ago. It came holding Mo's amazing spirit and stitching, along with a heart stitched by Jude, and many treasures and inspirations. I love thinking of all of the journeys contained in it's parts, and how it represents a little corner of the community Jude has created. I am so grateful to Mo for sharing her heart . . . both kinds."
Thinking of this community, I thought of the song "A Circle is Cast" by Libana (listen here), and this one... and remembered being at one of their concerts in the early 90's. It was an intimate space in shadowy light, with these gorgeous voiced women circling us in song. It was beautiful and holy.
For Mo and Rod, holding them, and each of us, in the circle of light that this community is.
